Grey Hubs

Nice pic of the shot...be careful of the nice shiny machines when taking pics! last time I did this, the reflection in the machine showed I was not wearing much - first coffee in the morning and all... . My friends didn't appreciate the gesture and didn't seem to notice the caramel looking coffee flowing into the cup. Isn't that's why they call it a "naked" portafilter???

or rather I never realized....Friday must hurry up now!

Eventually purchased a Macap M5D grinder. So I can now give is a better "shot"... Never released the age of the beans effects the grind so much...interesting. Will keep this in mind.

I have a lot to learn...

A nice video of the Francino in action. He shows how to do it pretty well...

I don't think it gets much better than the Robur! I'll call them on Monday. Will either be a Mazzer mini or Macap M5D. Leaning towards the Macap with digital time dose. Appreciate your thoughts.

Do you have a contact at importalia? Last time i looked, they were expensive! Always been keen on Mazzer mini. Thought the on demand grinders made more sense.

Yip, good copy of the E61...guess the pump switch acts as the lever. Machine is made the the UK. Yes, the culinary group are the ones. Hope to have a grinder by next week. Missing good coffee at home.

One switch is for on/off. the 2nd activates the pump. Machine is semi ok. Does a good extraction with a naked portafilter. I'm looking at the Macap M5D on demand grinder...they're not cheap.

"Bean" reading the topic for a while.... Looking for a good espresso grinder for home. Any suggestions on where to find one? I use a Francino Cherub. http://www.fracino.com/uploads/images/FRACINO%20IMAGES%202012/NEW%20CHERUB.jpg
